Add In-Bond Information

Overview

In-Bond shipments pass through the United States en route to delivery in another country. A customs bond is required for all commercial imports coming into the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not clear commercial imports without a properly executed bond.

Companies who import into the United States agree to specific conditions when posting a bond. These include agreements to:

• Pay all duties, taxes, and charges in a timely manner.
• Make or complete entry properly.
• Produce documents and evidence of shipment.
• Redeliver merchandise, if required.
• Rectify a non-compliance with provision for admission.
• Allow the examination of merchandise by U.S. Customs officials.
• Reimburse the United States of any charges (if necessary) and exonerate the United States of responsibility.
• Comply with special requirements on duty free entries.

As a logistics company, ProTrans is required to comply with any regulations for shipping freight over the borders.
